Age group: Competitors aged 14 and 15 (as of December 31)
Skill level: Learn to Race (see AIM2WIN)
The U16 series prepares skiers to perform in the Learn to Race stage and introduces them to more intensive training and competition. The program provides a competitive series for 14- and 15-year-olds – with benchmarking at the CanAm level (Western Canada and Western USA) – allowing them to test their skills against their peers at a regional level. The U16 program also develops ski-specific physical and mental skills and continues to develop the athlete's technical and tactical skills.
